"Unabomber Ted Kaczynski dies by suicide in prison cell at age 81"

Ted Kaczynski, known as the "Unabomber," died by suicide at the age of 81 in a federal prison in North Carolina. Kaczynski carried out a 17-year bombing campaign that killed three people and injured 23 others. He had been held in the federal Supermax prison in Colorado since 1998, when he was sentenced to four life sentences plus 30 years. Kaczynski's targets included academics, airlines, and industry lobbyists. He was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic but pleaded guilty rather than allow his attorneys to present an insanity defense.
